About St Edmundsbury Cathedral

Pilgrims and tourists have been visiting the site of St Edmundsbury Cathedral for over a thousand years. Today, we offer all who come to the Cathedral a warm welcome, the opportunity to pray and the chance to explore on their own or as part of a tour.

The Cathedral is open daily from 8.30 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. There is no charge for admission but donations are always welcome.
